  1. STEP 1: Address your ball on your tee shot. The ball should be positioned just inside your left foot.
  2. STEP 2: Pull your shaft parallel to the ground and the toe of the club should be pointing toward the sky. Your weight should transfer to your right side. (Do NOT pull to the inside on this move)
  3. STEP 3: At the top of your backswing, the club should be (ideally) parallel to the ground, if you can get it there. Do NOT force yourself to get into this posit
  4. STEP 4: As your club comes back down, 80% of your weight should be transferred. Begin to straighten your left arm (right-handers) as you continue to swing through. Practice this key move.
  5. STEP 5: Your club is again parallel to the ground as you aim to maintain a straight line of target to hit the ball.
  6. STEP 6: At the finish, hit the ball and your torso should be facing the target.
